    Announcing the Search Engine Land Awards 2021 Winners

    The pandemic forced agencies, in-house marketing teams, and individual marketers to get creative, think on their toes, and often make a little go a long way.

    Unnamed

    The competition was fierce for the 2021 Search Engine Land Awards. The pandemic caused lockdowns and shutdowns, which affected many businesses’ main income streams. Not only that but it forced many consumers almost completely online. As such agencies, in-house marketing teams, and individual marketers had to get creative, think on their toes, and often make a little go a long way.
